In the former open-pit mining area of Ningyo-toge mine, 
is the dominant in its vegetation and the vegetation succession has been suspended for 2 decades. The present work was conducted to understand the soil micromorphological characteristics on this unusual area. We set two sampling sites (site A and site B) at the former open-pit mining area. Site A is in dominant vegetation, and site B is in 
dominant vegetation. Soil samples were taken from each horizon of the soil profiles for chemical analysis at the sites, and thin sections were obtained from the soil core samples (0-5 cm, 10-15 cm, 30-35 cm depth of site A and Site B, respectively). The BC horizon of site B has a lower Eh, which may be due to the less voids in the underlying soil, which results in seasonal accumulation of water. And the soil thin section observation showed that the 0-5cm of soil is in good structure, but the lower layer is not fully developed and forms a block structure. The content of the five forms of Fe and Mn are residual form 
oxide-bound form organic-bound form carbonate-bound form exchangeable form in this study site.

This study was conducted to understand the soil macro and micromorphological characteristics on the former open pit mining area of Ningyo-toge mine. The vegetation succession of the area has not progressed. Its dominant vegetation has been 
. The conclusions of this study are follows. The BC horizon of Site B has a lower Eh, which may be due to the less voids in the underlying soil, which results in seasonal accumulation of water. The contents of Mn, Cd, Pb, and Co were higher than the average contents in Japanese soil, but they did not reach the level of pollution. The content of acid-soluble Fe was very low in the soil, Fe mainly is the form of residual and a part of reducible form in the study site. But, the content of Mn in acid-soluble form is high, and Mn has a greater impact on vegetation. In this study site, external human factors have a large influence, mixed with a large amount of black residue and wood chips. And the 0-5cm of soil is in good structure, but the soil in the lower layer is not fully developed and it is a block structure.
